DING DONG. The doorbell rings. The sun has set. I’m in egg nog-stained yoga pants and my sock bun doth saggeth. Gripping the 14 heart attacks scrambling to escape my chest bone, I walk over to the kitchen window and peek out to see a UPS truck zipping away, leaving me with a gigantic cardboard […]
The secret is in the lemon. But before you scroll down looking for the beauty shot of the lemon, let me break it to you, it’s not there. You see, I didn’t even think about adding lemon juice when I was making this dish and then all of a sudden as I was about to […]
Duuuude, what’s uuuuuuupppppaaaa??? That’s my “never-mind-me-I’ve-just-eaten-a ton-of-mushrooms” voice. SAUTEED mushrooms, you freak! I’m not that kind of girl. You know, sauteed mushrooms are not to be taken lightly. The marriage between the butter, the garlic, the wine…they are an exquisite treasured delicacy among the lands. And in my mind. And mouth. One must not overlook […]
This weekend was definitely one for the books. Like, every single one of the books. I had the pleasure of hosting the incredibly talented Helene Dujardin in my home. She. is. so. much. fun. you. guys. We drank wine, we cooked, we watched mystery shows on tv, we took pictures, we went out to dinner […]
Now, before you’re all, “omg she made hatch chile sauce from scratch, you guys!” you need to know, it’s from a can. But this can was sent straight from the pearly green gates of hatch chile heaven.

We hadn’t grown any butternut squash in our garden this year (or ever), so when Carly brought the […]
I remember when I first discovered Giada De Laurentiis. I would watch her in sheer amazement. “How is she that pretty?” I would ponder. “How can I get my hair to look that incredible while trussing a chicken?” I wondered. “Who is the contractor for her kitchen and can I get his number?” I would […]
Don’t leave me alone on this. Give it all you GOT. Shine for the world! Let the people of the land know your infinite wisdom!! . . . or just take a guess. What’s on the menu tonight?
As I told ya last night, I’m trying to get every last thing eaten in this house before we depart for a few days. It just so happened that my newest Whole Living magazine appeared in my mailbox the other day. It just so happened that the front cover food photo left me weak and […]
I finally did it. After two weeks of teetering on ideas, I finally opened up the can of sardines, took a nervous peek and decided what to do with them. You guys, those suckers are not cute.
